Michella Dos Santos
Hispanic beauty Michella was born on December 30th 1981 in South Africa
to Portuguese parents. At the age of nine a production company spotted
her talent for dancing and acting and offered the young Michella a
contract as a TV presenter for a popular kids TV program. Fearing her
education would suffer, her mother and stepfather declined the contract
and encouraged her to follow a more academic route. Michella finished
her education at sixteen and through sheer determination followed her
heart and on moving back to Portugal, began her career as a
professional dancer (doing Street Dance) in Portuguese shows. She also
sang on a Portuguese radio show. Her ambition for success brought her
to England at twenty-one where she pursued her career as an actress,
starting out in "Frances Tuesday." She continued with dancing but this
time teaching it rather than performing on stage. Recently Michella has
teamed up with award-winning Spanish director Miguel Alcantud to work
on a comedy script she wrote in which she plays Italian dancer, Nina.
Miguel, maker of the film "Impulsos" and "Anestazsi" starring Sir Derek
Jacobi, impressed with her passion and determination, has asked her to
audition for his next film, "When You Dream", acting alongside Sir
Derek Jacobi. Her classic dark looks and talent for accents allows her
to be flexible with her roles. Besides dancing,acting, writing, singing
and modeling, her other abilities include speaking fluent Portuguese,
Afrikaans, English and basic French and Spanish.
